This is the first leather work I have ever done. I did not like the chain/belt that came with my sporran. Here is what I came up with.

Nice work - slick job. Brian

Looks great! One thing you might do, it appears the inside is a bit "fuzzy". You can take a damp rag and wipe the fuzzy fibers in one direction to help them lay down. Using something smooth to slick them down after wetting them will do a better job. This will lessen any friction between your strap and kilt. The smoother, the better. The silver rivets and black leather look great though!

The silver rivets and black leather look great though! Thanks for the help, I will try that. I guess bad lighting in the pic, because the rivets are brass.
Very handsome work - wear it with pride!
It could be my monitor also now that you say it though, I do see a gold tint to the metal.
Kiltferone, Agree with Cavscout, very nice work! You have a lot of skill. Good to see another leatherworker out there too! Tom
That is nice work congratulations and wear it well.
I don't like my chain either. Guess I'll have to try making one too. Thanks for the inspiration.
A very fine-looking strap. What type of leather did you use?
